Trovets Favor Padgett Bill Poll Reveals
An overwhelming majority pf
Trovets polled to date have indicated their approval of Bob Padgett’s race-descent resolution recently submitted to the ASSC Senate.
Eighty per cent of the Trovet ballots received have indicated agreement with Padgett’s resolution. Approximately 24 per cent of the organization’s 536 members have answered.
Postcard ballots were mailed recently to all members. The ballot said:
Resolution by Bob Padgett:
(a) That the ASSC Senate go on record as opposed to the inclusion on admission forms of any information not pertinent to a student’s merit or academic ability.
(b) That the Senate rccommend and urge the administration to delete race and descent information on the application for admission blanks.
Members wrere asked to indicate agreement or disagreement with the resolution. Ballots had to be
signed to be valid.
“An average of three new members have joined Trovets each day since the polling began," Dick Fav-inger, treasurer, said yesterday. “New members say they have joined because they approve of Trovets taking a stand on such an issue and they approve of the manner in which the organization is seeking members’ approval before taking a definite stand,” Favinger said.
Moslems Back Padgett Plan
The Moslem's Student association yesterday voted to support the Padgett race-descent proposal.
This was the second of such moves by foreign student organizations on campus. The Intercultural club unanimously lent its support to the proposition Sunday.
Abdul Moussa. president of the IC club, said that he was "proud to lend his support to the Padgett proposal.”
“Questions of race do not appear in applications of any kind in Egypt,” he continued, “and I was surprised to see that such a question is used at this university.”
In the Moslems’ support of the proposition it was pointed out that they would support “any move that promotes better relations between peoples.”
The Padgett-support proposal was introduced to the IC club by Ebish Nuban, Moslem representative on the Council of Religion.
Diedre Broughton Heads YWCA —Voting Heavy
Rita Kreiziger is AWS president and Diedre Broughton will head YWCA as a result of

Council Denies Mass Meeting
The Council of Religion yesterday denied any connection with last week’s so-called “mass” meeting in Bowne hall to discuss the Padgett
proposal for the removal of race and descent questions from admission blanks.
T.he council reluted statements made to the Daily Trojan at that time by Council Member Vernon Blake. Blake had indicated to reporters that the “mass” meeting wras being officially sponsored by the Council of Religion.
In reality, a small group of council members had discussed Blake’s proposal without taking a position for or. against it. Text of the council’s statement follows:
“The Student Council of Religion. , in its meeting on Monday, Mar. 28,' took no official position on the j Padgett ‘race and descent resolu-1 tion.’ All statements which appear- j ed in the Mar. 29 issue of the Daily Trojan attributing an official position as having be£n taken by the council had no basis of fact. The Student Council of Religion did not sponsor the 'mass meeting’ held in Mudd hall on Tuesday, Mar. 2®. wrhich discussed the Padgett pro* posal.”
Bryan, vice-president; Dee Cooper, secretary; and Beverly Walker, ; treasurer.
YWCA officers are Beth Aspen, first vice-president; Pat Coghlin, second vice-president; Joan Johnson, secretary; and Cay Almquist,
! treasurer.
Miss Kreiziger is a Gamma Phi Beta, Amazon, and national vice-president of the Spurs. She was formerly orientation chairman of the AWS cabinet. With Anne Rose, former AWS president, she wrill attend the national convention in Albuquerque next week.
Also running for AWS offices were Patti Pippert, for president; Rae Haas, and Jackie Schatte, for vice-president; Camille Brick, Virginia Palmer, and Marilyn Wolf, for
secretary; and Nikki Hastert. Carol
Kingsbaker, and Barbara Wilgus, for treasurer.
Diedre Broughton was the only contender for the office of Y president. Other nominees for Y offices were Jane Aven, first vice-president; Diane Huseboe and Lois Wollenweber. second vie e-president. There was no competition for the offices of secretary or treasurer.
Requirements for eligibility to position of president in the AWS election was a 1.5 grade average, and the candidate had to be a senior with one year of experience on the AWS board.

Harley Tells US Leadership
The experience the United States has in democracy puts it in a position fcr world leadership that no other nation has ever had.
This is the belief of Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, who will speak on “The role of the United States in a Power Age" at 7 tonight in Bowne hall.
‘We have this position cf world leadership whether we like it or not,” Dr. Harley said yesterday. “We should stress the qualities of democracy to the world and show just wThat it means to be a democracy.
The third of a series of 10 lectures on “World Problems Today,” Dr. Harley’s talk will enumerate the eight best qualities of democracy and will show how they are related to and support the United Nations charter.
“The Atlantic pact can either support the UN or be a detriment to it,” asserted Dr. Harley, who is president of the Los Angeles chapter of the Association for the United Nations.
If the countries who signed the pact use it to further the values of democracy, the UN will be strengthened, he said.
Tickets for the lecture, sponsored by the University College and the School of Philosophy, are 75 cents each or $5 for the series/ They may be purchased at the door or by calling Richmond 4111.

Vierheilig has withdrawn from the Trojanality contest because he doesn’t want to use it as “a political
tool.*
With the enthusiasm and rostrum know-hcw that makes him one of the most popular lecturers on campus, Dr. Frank C. Baxter traced the life of George Borrow, English linguist and traveler, yesterday at the Wednesday lecture series.
The professor of English language and literature came laden with books by “'one of my favorite people.” He read at length from Borrow, 1803-81.
Dr. Baxter pointed to the •‘practically unknown Borrow'’ as one of the staid Victorians “who had more fun than we do.”
WAS HIMSELF “He was a liar; he was rude and friendless: and he was eccentric, but by gad. he was himself.’*
Dr. Baxter, who was talking about Borrow “because I want to,” proposed an epitaph:
“Here lies one who loved Gypsies and jockeys . . odd people . . . and words.”
Borrow spoke 28 languages, which he learned mostly by ear. Dr. Baxter said.
For a time he was a London “hack writer.” After this, the next seven years of his life are a blank.
“He probably spent them wandering the English roads, living with the Gypsies he loved so well,” Dr. Baxter said.
TRANSLATED BIBLE While working for the British and Foreign Bible society as a translator. Borrow learned Manchu, language of the Chinese nobles, in six months. He translated the Bible into that language.
He undertook the dangerous job of distributing the Protestant Bible in Catholic Spain.
Of this period. Dr. Baxter said that “when he saturated one area with his personality, he would pop up someplace else.”
It was after this trip tbat he wrrote “The Bible in Spain.'* his only successful book.
DESCRIBES BOOK Dr. Baxter described “Lavengro.” his favorite book by the traveler, as “a wandering book, like Borrow.”
Completely familiar with his subject, Dr. Baxter had to beg for “a few minutes more” when his time was up.
In Baxterian fashion he acted out the passages he read from the several books he stacked next to the lecture stand.
He told how Borrow would give his wife a pleasant “good morning. Mary.’* then disappear for three months. On his last spree across Europe he walked to Constantinople and back.

Trovets Favor Padgett Bill Poll Reveals
An overwhelming majority pf
Trovets polled to date have indicated their approval of Bob Padgett’s race-descent resolution recently submitted to the ASSC Senate.
Eighty per cent of the Trovet ballots received have indicated agreement with Padgett’s resolution. Approximately 24 per cent of the organization’s 536 members have answered.
Postcard ballots were mailed recently to all members. The ballot said:
Resolution by Bob Padgett:
(a) That the ASSC Senate go on record as opposed to the inclusion on admission forms of any information not pertinent to a student’s merit or academic ability.
(b) That the Senate rccommend and urge the administration to delete race and descent information on the application for admission blanks.
Members wrere asked to indicate agreement or disagreement with the resolution. Ballots had to be
signed to be valid.
“An average of three new members have joined Trovets each day since the polling began," Dick Fav-inger, treasurer, said yesterday. “New members say they have joined because they approve of Trovets taking a stand on such an issue and they approve of the manner in which the organization is seeking members’ approval before taking a definite stand,” Favinger said.
Moslems Back Padgett Plan
The Moslem's Student association yesterday voted to support the Padgett race-descent proposal.
This was the second of such moves by foreign student organizations on campus. The Intercultural club unanimously lent its support to the proposition Sunday.
Abdul Moussa. president of the IC club, said that he was "proud to lend his support to the Padgett proposal.”
“Questions of race do not appear in applications of any kind in Egypt,” he continued, “and I was surprised to see that such a question is used at this university.”
In the Moslems’ support of the proposition it was pointed out that they would support “any move that promotes better relations between peoples.”
The Padgett-support proposal was introduced to the IC club by Ebish Nuban, Moslem representative on the Council of Religion.

With the enthusiasm and rostrum know-hcw that makes him one of the most popular lecturers on campus, Dr. Frank C. Baxter traced the life of George Borrow, English linguist and traveler, yesterday at the Wednesday lecture series.
The professor of English language and literature came laden with books by “'one of my favorite people.” He read at length from Borrow, 1803-81.
Dr. Baxter pointed to the •‘practically unknown Borrow'’ as one of the staid Victorians “who had more fun than we do.”
WAS HIMSELF “He was a liar; he was rude and friendless: and he was eccentric, but by gad. he was himself.’*
Dr. Baxter, who was talking about Borrow “because I want to,” proposed an epitaph:
“Here lies one who loved Gypsies and jockeys . . odd people . . . and words.”
Borrow spoke 28 languages, which he learned mostly by ear. Dr. Baxter said.
For a time he was a London “hack writer.” After this, the next seven years of his life are a blank.
“He probably spent them wandering the English roads, living with the Gypsies he loved so well,” Dr. Baxter said.
TRANSLATED BIBLE While working for the British and Foreign Bible society as a translator. Borrow learned Manchu, language of the Chinese nobles, in six months. He translated the Bible into that language.
He undertook the dangerous job of distributing the Protestant Bible in Catholic Spain.
Of this period. Dr. Baxter said that “when he saturated one area with his personality, he would pop up someplace else.”
It was after this trip tbat he wrrote “The Bible in Spain.'* his only successful book.
DESCRIBES BOOK Dr. Baxter described “Lavengro.” his favorite book by the traveler, as “a wandering book, like Borrow.”
Completely familiar with his subject, Dr. Baxter had to beg for “a few minutes more” when his time was up.
In Baxterian fashion he acted out the passages he read from the several books he stacked next to the lecture stand.
He told how Borrow would give his wife a pleasant “good morning. Mary.’* then disappear for three months. On his last spree across Europe he walked to Constantinople and back.
